Headphone Highlights – Gary Chandler: Detroit Ghettotech Classics

To catch Gary Chandler wrecking the set anywhere round the world is to witness first-hand the melting pot of Detroit's music history in action. With his trademark brand of hip-hop a-capellas, pitched-down jungle, pitched-up Chicago house, cut up doubles, and the unmistakable sound of Detroit ghettotech and electro, Chandler delivers an education in soundtracking the dancefloor like few others. Whether playing sci-fi hip-hop or cuts from local Detroit acts like DJ Assault, Detrechno and DJ Godfather, the original open-minded DJ will employ any track to suit his wide-screen sound. One of the originators of ghettotech, the battle-hardy DJ brought the style to the techno underground alongside DJ Assault, and while a lifetime music activist and radio personality in Detroit, his sound is just beginning to surface on the national and international scene.
